Yes, this is all “riding the stream”.
I wonder also what the pellet speed* is, and what the aerodynamic phenomena around the “stream” would be like. Sounds pretty drastic. Sure mess up any birds (or planes**) flying into it! Also be interesting to see what would happen during a severe thunderstorm, or even a tornado, in the vicinity.
*At escape velocity, wouldn’t the pellets burn up due to friction, both leaving and entering the atmosphere?
**Or satellites. A directed version of this would make a super satellite-smasher. Or ABM or AA defense.
